Level winding mechanism of double bearing reel, double bearing reel and electric reel

  The present invention relates to a level winding mechanism for a dual-bearing reel, a dual-bearing reel, and an electric reel that reciprocate the fishing line in the left-right direction in conjunction with the rotation of the spool that rotates relative to the reel body and feeds the fishing line forward. About.

  In a dual bearing reel including an electric reel, a level wind mechanism in which a fishing line guide reciprocates by a gear connected to a drive shaft of a handle so as to rotate integrally is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). The level wind mechanism is provided for winding the fishing line uniformly in the left-right direction (spool axis direction) of the spool. The fishing line guide reciprocates in the left-right direction to guide the fishing line to the spool. The drive shaft is normally prohibited from rotating in the yarn unwinding direction. For this reason, in the conventional level wind mechanism, the fishing line guide reciprocates in conjunction with the rotation of the spool in the line winding direction to guide the fishing line in the left-right direction. When the winding is finished, the fishing line guide stops at any position in the left-right direction. In this way, when interlocked only with the rotation in the line winding direction, the resistance of the mechanism for moving the fishing line guide is not applied when the line is fed, and the spool can be rotated at high speed.

JP 2003-235415 A

  In the conventional level winding mechanism of the dual-bearing reel, the fishing line guide is stopped without moving when the fishing line is fed out. For this reason, depending on the stop position of the fishing line guide, the fishing line may be greatly bent and fed out by the fishing line guide. When the fishing line is bent greatly, it becomes resistance during feeding and it becomes difficult to feed the fishing line quickly.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to reduce resistance at the time of yarn unwinding in a level winding mechanism of a double-bearing reel that reciprocates during yarn winding.

  The dual-winding reel level wind mechanism according to the first aspect of the invention is a mechanism that reciprocates the fishing line in the left-right direction in conjunction with the rotation of the spool that rotates relative to the reel body and feeds the fishing line forward. The level wind mechanism includes a fishing line guide, a reciprocating movement mechanism, a fishing line guide detection unit, a movement command output unit, and a predetermined position movement unit. The fishing line guide is disposed in front of the spool and guides the fishing line. The reciprocating mechanism reciprocates the fishing line guide in the left-right direction. The fishing line guide detection unit detects that the fishing line guide is in a predetermined position. The movement command output unit outputs a movement command for moving the fishing line guide to a predetermined position in association with the rotation of the spool in the line feeding direction. When the movement command output unit outputs the movement command, the predetermined position moving unit operates the reciprocating mechanism to move the fishing line guide to a predetermined position.

  In this level wind mechanism, when a movement command is output in association with rotation of the spool in the line feeding direction, the fishing line guide moves to a predetermined position in the left-right direction. Here, by outputting the movement command at, for example, any one of the timings before and after the timing when the spool rotates in the feeding direction, the fishing line guide is brought into a predetermined position in relation to the rotation of the spool in the feeding direction. Can be moved. Moreover, even if the fishing line guide stops at any position in the left-right direction before the movement, it can be arranged at a predetermined position. For example, by setting the predetermined position in the vicinity of the center position of the moving range of the fishing line guide in the left-right direction, the degree of bending of the fishing line can be minimized. For this reason, in the level winding mechanism of the double-bearing reel that reciprocally moves when winding the yarn, the resistance during yarn unwinding can be reduced.

  The level winding mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to a second aspect of the invention is the level winding mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the predetermined position is a position corresponding to a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the spool. In this case, since the predetermined position is a substantially center position in the left-right direction of the spool, the degree of bending of the fishing line can be minimized even if the fishing line guide is stopped at any position. .

  The dual-winding reel level wind mechanism according to a third aspect of the present invention is the level wind mechanism according to the first or second aspect, wherein the electric reel includes a clutch mechanism, a clutch operating member, and a clutch state detecting unit. The clutch mechanism can be in a connected state in which the handle for rotating the spool and the spool are connected and in a disconnected state in which the connection is released. The clutch operating member is provided on the reel body so as to be movable between a coupling position where the clutch mechanism is coupled and a coupling release position where the clutch mechanism is coupled. The clutch state detection unit can detect whether or not the clutch mechanism is in a disengaged state. The movement command output unit outputs a movement command when the clutch state detection unit detects that the clutch mechanism is in the disengaged state.

  In this case, when the clutch state detection unit detects that the clutch mechanism is in the disengaged state, a movement command is output and the fishing line guide moves to a predetermined position. For this reason, the fishing line guide always moves to a predetermined position automatically when the fishing line is fed out. Thereby, it is possible to reliably reduce resistance during yarn feeding.

  The dual-winding reel level wind mechanism according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the level wind mechanism according to the third aspect, wherein the clutch state detecting unit is in the disengaged state depending on whether or not the clutch operating member is in the disengaged position. Whether or not is detected. In this case, it is possible to detect that the clutch mechanism is in the disengaged state by a clutch operating member provided on the reel body, rather than a clutch mechanism that is normally disposed between the spool shaft and the pinion gear. The configuration of the clutch state detection unit is simplified.

  The dual-winding reel level winding mechanism according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the level winding mechanism according to the third or fourth aspect, wherein the dual-bearing reel is an electric reel that rotationally drives the spool by a motor. The electric reel has a rotation transmission path. The rotation transmission path transmits the rotation of the motor to the spool via the clutch mechanism without passing through the drive shaft of the handle and to the reciprocating mechanism on the motor side of the clutch mechanism. When the movement command is output, the predetermined position moving unit operates the reciprocating mechanism via the rotation transmission path by the rotation of the motor, and moves the fishing line guide to the predetermined position.

  In this case, the predetermined position moving unit can be configured by operating the reciprocating mechanism using the motor that rotationally drives the spool and the rotation transmission path. For this reason, another actuator for moving to a predetermined position becomes unnecessary, and the configuration of the predetermined position moving unit is simplified.

  The dual-winding reel level wind mechanism according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the level wind mechanism according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the fishing line guide detection unit has a sensor. The sensor is provided on either the fishing line guide or the reel body. A detector that is detected by a sensor is provided on the other of the fishing line guide and the reel body. In this case, since the sensor and the detector are provided between the moving fishing line guide and the fixed reel body, the position of the fishing line guide can be detected with high accuracy.

  The level winding mechanism of the dual-bearing reel according to a seventh aspect is the level winding mechanism according to the sixth aspect, wherein the detector is a magnet provided on the fishing line guide. The sensor is a magnetic force detection unit that is provided in the reel body corresponding to a predetermined position and can detect a magnet. In this case, since the magnet provided in the moving fishing line guide is detected by the magnetic force detector provided in the fixed reel body, the wiring and configuration of the sensor are simplified.

  A level winding mechanism for a dual-bearing reel according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the level winding mechanism according to the first aspect, wherein the movement command output unit outputs a movement command at a predetermined timing when the spool rotates in the yarn unwinding direction. In this case, it is possible to output a movement command by using a water depth detection spool sensor that is usually provided on a dual-bearing reel having a water depth display mechanism.

  A dual-bearing reel according to a ninth aspect includes the level wind mechanism according to any one of the first to eighth aspects.

  In this case, it is possible to obtain a double-bearing reel that exhibits the above-described effects.

  An electric reel according to a tenth aspect includes a motor and the level wind mechanism according to any one of the first to eighth aspects.

  In this case, it is possible to obtain a double-bearing reel that exhibits the above-described effects. Further, the fishing line guide can be moved to a predetermined position by using a motor for driving the rotation of the spool.

  According to the present invention, when the movement command is output, the fishing line guide moves to a predetermined position. Therefore, by setting the predetermined position, for example, near the position of the center of the horizontal movement range of the fishing line guide, the fishing line is set. The degree of bending can be minimized. For this reason, in the level winding mechanism of the double-bearing reel that reciprocally moves when winding the yarn, the resistance during yarn unwinding can be reduced.

The pinion gear 32 moves along the direction of the spool shaft 14 between the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 7 and the clutch-off position on the left side of FIG. 3 from the clutch-on position. At the clutch-on position, the clutch pin 16a engages with the clutch recess 16b, and the rotation of the pinion gear 32 is transmitted to the spool shaft 14, and the clutch mechanism 16 enters the clutch-on state. In this clutch-on state, the pinion gear 32 and the spool shaft 14 can rotate together. In the clutch-off position, the clutch recess 16b is separated from the clutch pin 16a, and the rotation of the pinion gear 32 is not transmitted to the spool shaft 14. For this reason, the clutch mechanism 16 is in a clutch-off state, and the spool 10 can freely rotate.

A rotating clutch plate 20a is provided. The clutch plate 20a rotates around the spool shaft 14, for example. The clutch plate 20a is provided with a detector 42 of a clutch sensor 64 that detects that the clutch mechanism 16 is in a clutch-off state. The detector 42 has an arm part 42a that moves integrally with the clutch plate 20a, and a magnet 42b provided at the tip of the arm part 42a. The clutch sensor 64 is mounted on a sensor substrate 55 provided on the second side plate 7b. The clutch sensor 64 has a magnetic sensor (for example, a hall element or a reed switch) that can detect the magnetic force. In the clutch sensor 64, when the clutch plate 20a is in the on position, the magnet 42b is disposed on the clutch sensor 64. Therefore, the clutch sensor 64 is turned on when the clutch operating member 11 is in the on position, and is turned off when the clutch operating member 11 is out of the on position. That is, the clutch sensor 64 detects that the clutch mechanism 16 is in the OFF state by detecting that the clutch operating member 11 is not in the clutch on position.

<Configuration of level wind mechanism>
As shown in FIG. 9, the level wind mechanism 22 is a mechanism that reciprocates the fishing line in the second direction Y in conjunction with the rotation in the line winding direction of the spool 10 that rotates relative to the reel body 1 and feeds the fishing line forward. is there. The level wind mechanism 22 includes a fishing line guide 23, a traverse cam shaft 24, and a guide sensor 65. The traverse cam shaft 24 has a spiral groove 24a intersecting the outer peripheral surface, and reciprocates the fishing line guide 23 in the second direction Y. The guide sensor 65 detects that the fishing line guide 23 is in a predetermined position. The traverse cam shaft 24 is an example of a reciprocating mechanism.

The guide portion 25a is formed in a cylindrical shape, and extends substantially in the first direction X with a center line CL extending in the vertical direction passing through the center MC of the motor 12 above the motor 12. In this embodiment, the guide portion 25a extends obliquely along the first direction X so that the front end portion is farther from the motor 12 than the rear end portion. As a result, the guide portion 25a is disposed so as to incline forward, and the water adhering to the inside of the guide portion 25a due to the fishing line is easily removed.

The guide portion 25a allows a fishing line to pass therethrough, a cylindrical passage portion 25b disposed with the center MC of the motor 12 interposed therebetween, and at least one hard ring portion 25c disposed inside the passage portion 25b. ,have. In this embodiment, the hard ring portion 25c is a cylindrical member that is longer than the length in the longitudinal direction of the passage portion 25b. The rear end of the hard ring portion 25c is disposed so as to protrude from the rear end of the passage portion 25b. The hard ring portion 25c is made of metal or hard ceramic, for example. Both ends of the inner peripheral surface of the hard ring portion 25c are formed in a fillet shape having a circular cross section.

  The passage portion 25b has a detector housing portion 25d that protrudes so as to be engaged with the groove portion 4c of the counter case 4 at the upper portion on the front end side. A magnet 28 that functions as a detector detected by the guide sensor 65 is stored in the detector storage portion 25d. The magnet 28 is detected by the guide sensor 65 when the fishing line guide 23 is disposed at a predetermined position. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the predetermined position is a position corresponding to a substantially center position in the second direction Y of the spool 10.

  The guide body 25 is arranged along the second connecting member 7d from the passage portion 25b and is disposed in front of the second connecting member 7d. The guide body 25 has a storage portion 25e in which the engaging member 26 is stored at the tip. A first guide shaft 27a and a second guide shaft 27b that guide the fishing line guide 23 in the second direction Y pass through the rear portion of the passage portion 25b and the middle portion of the guide body 25 in the vertical direction.

  The first guide shaft 27a and the second guide shaft 27b are arranged along the second direction Y, and both ends thereof are fixed to the first side plate 7a and the second side plate 7b, respectively. Thus, in addition to the conventionally provided second guide shaft 27b, by providing the first guide shaft 27a in the vicinity of the entrance where the fishing line is guided when the line is fed, the fishing line is less likely to get entangled. Further, it is possible to reinforce the guide portion 25a having a long length in the front-rear direction relative to the conventional guide portion. Thereby, the fishing line guide 23 is stably guided in the second direction Y, the reciprocating movement of the fishing line guide 23 becomes smooth, and the position detection accuracy of the guide sensor 65 is improved.

  The engaging member 26 is disposed along the vertical direction, and has a plate-like engaging portion 26 a that engages with the spiral groove 24 a at the tip. The engaging member 26 is rotatably attached to the end portion of the storage portion 25e.

  The traverse cam shaft 24 is disposed through the guide main body 25. The traverse cam shaft 24 is disposed above and in front of the center MC of the motor 12. The traverse cam shaft 24 is covered with an arc-shaped cover portion 29 that covers a part of the outer peripheral surface. The cover part 29 penetrates the guide body 25 and also functions as a guide member in the second direction Y of the fishing line guide 23. When the traverse cam shaft 24 rotates, the fishing line guide 23 reciprocates in the second direction Y. The traverse cam shaft 24 is driven by the spool drive mechanism 13. A driven gear 50 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) to which the driving force is transmitted from the spool driving mechanism 13 is mounted on the end of the traverse cam shaft 24 on the handle mounting side.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the guide sensor 65 is provided above the groove portion 4 c in the lower part of the counter case 4. The guide sensor 65 has a magnetic sensor (for example, a hall element or a reed switch) that can detect the magnetic force of the magnet 28. The guide sensor 65 is disposed at the center position in the moving direction of the fishing line guide 23 (generally the position facing the center position in the second direction Y of the spool 10). That is, the guide sensor 65 is provided corresponding to a predetermined position. Thus, when the guide sensor 65 detects the magnet 28, it can be detected that the fishing line guide 23 has moved to a predetermined position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the level wind mechanism 22 operates the traverse cam shaft 24 when the movement command output unit 60c that outputs a movement command to move to a predetermined position and the movement command output unit 60c output the movement command. And a predetermined position moving part 60d for moving the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position. The movement command output unit 60 c and the predetermined position movement unit 60 d are realized as a functional configuration of the reel control unit 60.

<Configuration of spool drive mechanism>
The spool drive mechanism 13 drives the spool 10 in the yarn winding direction. Further, a drag force is generated on the spool 10 during winding to prevent the fishing line from being cut. As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the spool drive mechanism 13 includes a motor 12, a reverse rotation prohibition unit 44 that prohibits rotation of the motor 12 in the yarn unwinding direction, a first rotation transmission mechanism 45, A rotation transmission mechanism 46. The first rotation transmission mechanism 45 decelerates the rotation of the motor 12 and transmits it to the spool 10. The second rotation transmission mechanism 46 increases the speed of the rotation of the handle 2 via the first rotation transmission mechanism 45 and transmits the rotation to the spool 10. In FIG. 6, the arrows indicate the rotation directions of the respective gears in the yarn winding direction.

  The first rotation transmission mechanism 45 has a planetary gear mechanism 47 connected to the output shaft 12 a of the motor 12. The planetary gear mechanism 47 reduces the rotation of the motor 12 with a reduction ratio in the range of 1/20 to 1/30 and transmits it to the spool 10. The planetary gear mechanism 47 has a first planetary speed reduction mechanism 48 connected to the output shaft 12 a of the motor 12 and a second planetary speed reduction mechanism 49 connected to the first planetary speed reduction mechanism 48. The planetary gear mechanism 47 is housed in a case 51 that is rotatably supported at both ends by the second side plate 7b and the mechanism mounting plate 19. An internal gear 51 a of the first planetary speed reduction mechanism 48 and the second planetary speed reduction mechanism 49 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the case 51. The sun gear of the first planetary reduction mechanism 48 is coupled to the output shaft 12a so as to be integrally rotatable. The sun gear of the second planetary speed reduction mechanism 49 is coupled to the carrier of the first planetary speed reduction mechanism 48 so as to be integrally rotatable. The output of the internal gear 51 a formed in the case 51 is transmitted to the spool 10 and the level wind mechanism 22. Therefore, the first rotation transmission mechanism 45 is an example of a rotation transmission mechanism. The first rotation transmission mechanism 45 transmits the rotation of the motor 12 to the spool 10 via the clutch mechanism 16 without passing through the drive shaft 30 of the handle 2, and at the level winding on the motor 12 side than the clutch mechanism 16. A rotation transmission path for transmitting to the mechanism 22 is provided.

  The first rotation transmission mechanism 45 further includes a first gear member 52, a second gear member 53 that meshes with the first gear member 52, and a pinion gear 32 that meshes with the second gear member 53. The first gear member 52 is formed on the outer periphery of the case 51 of the planetary gear mechanism 47. Accordingly, the first gear member 52 can rotate integrally with the internal gear. The first gear member 52 also meshes with the driven gear 50 of the level wind mechanism 22. The second gear member 53 is disposed between the mechanism mounting plate 19 and the outer surface of the second side plate 7b. The second gear member 53 is an intermediate gear for transmitting the rotation of the first gear member 52 to the pinion gear 32 with the rotation direction aligned. The second gear member 53 is rotatably supported by the mechanism mounting plate 19. The pinion gear 32 is mounted on the second side plate 7b so as to be rotatable around the spool shaft 14 and movable in the axial direction. The pinion gear 32 is controlled by the clutch control mechanism 20 and moves in the axial direction between the clutch-on position and the clutch-off position.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the second rotation transmission mechanism 46 includes a drive shaft 30, a drive gear 31, a third gear member 54, a drag mechanism 33, to which the handle 2 is connected so as to be integrally rotatable. have.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the drive shaft 30 is rotatably supported by the second boss portion 8f of the second side plate 7b and the second side cover 8b. A drag washer 37 of a drag mechanism 33 is attached to the drive shaft 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. The handle 2 is connected to the tip of the drive shaft 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. In addition, a ratchet wheel 35 of the first one-way clutch 34 is mounted on the drive shaft 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. The ratchet wheel 35 is mounted in a state where movement in the axially inward direction (left side in FIG. 6) is restricted. The ratchet wheel 35 is prohibited from rotating in the yarn feeding direction by a ratchet claw (not shown). The base end of the drive shaft 30 is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) on the second side plate 7b. The drive shaft 30 is supported by the first boss 8f of the second side cover 8b by a roller-type second one-way clutch 36. The drive shaft 30 is prohibited from rotating in the yarn feeding direction by the first one-way clutch 34. The drag mechanism 33 can be operated by prohibiting the rotation of the drive shaft 30 in the yarn feeding direction. The second one-way clutch 36 quickly inhibits the rotation of the drive shaft 30 in the yarn unwinding direction.

  The drive gear 31 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 30. The drive gear 31 is pressed by the drag washer 37 of the drag mechanism 33. The drive gear 31 is braked by the drag mechanism 33 for rotation in the yarn drawing direction. As a result, the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction is braked.

  The third gear member 54 is provided to transmit the rotation of the handle 2 to the spool 10. As shown in FIG. 7, the third gear member 54 is coupled to the carrier of the second planetary reduction mechanism 49 so as to be integrally rotatable. The third gear member 54 meshes with the drive gear 31 and transmits the rotation of the handle 2 to the carrier of the second planetary reduction mechanism 49. The rotation transmitted to the carrier is transmitted to the pinion gear 32 via the first gear member 52 and the second gear member 53. The reduction ratio from the third gear member 54 to the second gear member 53 is generally “1”.

  The drag mechanism 33 has a drag washer 37 and a star drag 3 for adjusting the drag force. The drag mechanism 33 is provided to brake the rotation of the spool 10 in the line-feeding direction and prevent the fishing line from being cut. The drag mechanism 33 causes the spool 10 to idle in the yarn feeding direction when a force greater than the set drag force acts on the spool 10.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the casting control mechanism 21 is a mechanism that presses both ends of the spool shaft 14 to brake the spool 10.

<Electric reel control system configuration>
As shown in FIG. 13, the reel control unit 60 includes, for example, a microcomputer including a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, an I / O interface, and a liquid crystal driving circuit. The reel control unit 60 includes a motor control unit 60a, a display control unit 60b, a movement command output unit 60c, and a predetermined position movement unit 60d as functional configurations realized by software. The motor control unit 60a controls the motor 12 so that the speed is constant according to the operation amount or the tension is constant according to the operation amount according to the operation amount of the adjustment lever 5. The display control unit 60b controls the liquid crystal drive circuit to perform display processing of the display 61 such as calculation and display of the fishing line length (device depth). The movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command for moving the fishing line guide 23 of the level wind mechanism 22 to a predetermined position in association with the rotation of the spool 10 in the line feeding direction. In this embodiment, the movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command when the clutch sensor 64 detects a clutch-off state. When the movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command, the predetermined position moving unit 60d rotates the traverse cam shaft 24 by the motor 12 to move the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position.

  The reel control unit 60 includes an adjustment lever 5, an operation key unit 62, a spool sensor 63, a clutch sensor 64, a guide sensor 65, a buzzer 66, a display 61, a motor drive circuit 67, and a storage unit. 68 and another input / output unit are connected. The operation key section 62 has three switches as described above. As described above, the spool sensor 63 is provided to detect the rotation speed, rotation direction, and rotation speed of the spool 10. The reel control unit 60 counts the pulses output from the spool sensor 63 and can detect the number of rotations X of the spool 10 from the beginning of winding and the rotation speed of the spool 10 by counting output.

  The buzzer 66 is provided for performing various notifications with a water depth display or the like. The motor driving circuit 67 is provided to drive the motor 12 at a constant speed or a constant tension by pulse width modulation control. The motor drive circuit 67 has a function of detecting a current flowing through the motor 12. The storage unit 68 includes, for example, a rewritable nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a flash memory. The storage unit 68 stores yarn length measurement data and data such as a shelf position and a bottom position.

<Control operation of reel control unit>
The control operation of the reel control unit 60 will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is an example of the control procedure, and the control procedure of the present invention is not limited to this. When the electric reel 100 is connected to an external power source via a power cord, the flowchart shown in FIG. Initial setting is performed in step S1. In this initial setting, the count value of the spool sensor 63 is reset, various variables and flags are reset, the motor control mode is set to the speed mode, and the display mode is set from the top. The mode from the top is a mode for displaying the water depth of the device from the water surface.

  Next, in step S2, display processing is performed. In the display process, various display processes such as water depth display are performed. Here, the water depth of the device is displayed on the display 61. In the speed mode, the speed step number operated by the adjustment lever 5 is displayed. In the tension mode, the tension step number is displayed. In addition, either the speed mode or the tension mode is displayed.

  In step S3, based on the detection result of the clutch sensor 64, it is determined whether or not the clutch mechanism 16 is in a clutch-off state. That is, when the clutch sensor 64 is turned off, it is determined that the clutch mechanism 16 is in the clutch-off state.

  In step S4, it is determined whether any switch or adjustment lever of the operation key unit 62 has been operated. In step S5, it is determined whether or not the spool 10 is rotating. This determination is made based on the output of the spool sensor 63. In step S6, it is determined whether any other command or input has been made.

  When the clutch is off, the process proceeds from step S3 to step S7. When the clutch is off, the fishing line guide 23 of the level wind mechanism 22 is moved by the motor 12. For this reason, in step S7, it is determined whether or not the motor 12 has already been turned on. If the motor 12 has not been turned on, the process proceeds to step S8, where the motor 12 is turned on and the motor 12 is rotated. At this time, since the clutch mechanism 16 is in the OFF state, even if the rotation of the motor 12 is transmitted to the pinion gear 32, the pinion gear 32 rotates idly and the rotation of the motor 12 is not transmitted to the spool 10. However, the rotation of the motor 12 in the yarn winding direction is transmitted to the driven gear 50 via the first gear member 52, and the traverse cam shaft 24 rotates. As a result, the fishing line guide 23 moves in the second direction Y. If the motor 12 is already on, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S9. In step S9, it is determined whether or not the fishing line guide 23 has reached a predetermined position. This determination is made based on the output from the guide sensor 65. That is, when the guide sensor 65 is turned on, it is determined that the fishing line guide 23 is located at the predetermined position described above, that is, at the center of the moving range of the fishing line guide 23. When the fishing line guide 23 is not equal to the predetermined position, the process proceeds to step S4. When the fishing line guide 23 reaches a predetermined position, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S10, and the motor 12 is turned off. Thereby, regardless of the position of the fishing line guide 23, the fishing line guide 23 is arranged at a predetermined position when the fishing line is fed out. Thereby, the degree of bending of the fishing line can be minimized. For this reason, in the level winding mechanism of the double-bearing reel that reciprocally moves when winding the yarn, the resistance during yarn unwinding can be reduced.

  When any switch of the operation key unit 62 or the adjustment lever 5 is operated, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S1 to execute switch input processing corresponding to the operated switch. If the rotation of the spool 10 is detected, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S7. In step S7, each operation mode process is executed. If any other command or input is made, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S8 to execute other processes.

  In each operation mode process in step S7 in FIG. 7, it is determined in step S21 in FIG. 14 whether or not the rotation direction of the spool 10 is the yarn feeding direction. This determination is made based on which magnet detection element of the spool sensor 63 has emitted a pulse first. If it is determined that the rotation direction of the spool 10 is the yarn feeding direction, the process proceeds from step S21 to step S22. In step S22, every time the spool rotational speed X decreases, the data stored in the storage unit 68 is read from the spool rotational speed X and the water depth LX is calculated. This water depth LX is displayed in the display process of step S2. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the obtained water depth LX coincides with the bottom position or the shelf position, that is, whether the device has reached the bottom or the shelf. The bottom position or the shelf position is set in the storage unit 68 by long pressing the 0 set switch SW when the device reaches the bottom or the shelf. In step S24, it is determined whether the mode is another mode. If it is not in another mode, each operation mode process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.

  Conventionally, the fishing line guide is disposed at the position at the end of winding when the line is unwound. In this embodiment, the fishing line guide 23 is disposed at a predetermined position by using the winding motor 12. Thereby, the fishing line guide 23 can be arranged at a predetermined position without providing another driving means when feeding the fishing line.

  When the water depth matches the bottom position, the process proceeds from step S23 to step S25, and the buzzer 66 is sounded to notify that the device has reached the bottom or the shelf. In the case of another mode, the process proceeds from step S24 to step S26, and the designated other mode is executed.

  When the rotation of the spool 10 is determined to be the yarn winding direction, the process proceeds from step S21 to step S277. In step S27, the data stored in the storage unit 68 is read from the spool rotational speed X and the water depth LX is calculated. This water depth LX is displayed in the display process of step S2. In step S28, it is determined whether or not the water depth matches the ship edge stop position. If it has not been wound up to the ship edge stop position, it returns to the main routine. When the ship edge stop position is reached, the process proceeds from step S28 to step S29. In step S29, the buzzer 66 is sounded to notify that the device is on the shore. In step S30, the motor 12 is turned off. As a result, the fish is arranged at a position where it can be easily taken when the fish is caught. This ship edge stop position is set when, for example, the spool 10 is stopped for a predetermined time or less within a water depth of 6 m.

<Features>
The above embodiment can be expressed as follows.

  (A) The level wind mechanism 22 of the electric reel 100 is a mechanism that reciprocates the fishing line in the left-right direction in conjunction with rotation in the line winding direction of the spool 10 that rotates relative to the reel body 1 and feeds the fishing line forward. The level wind mechanism 22 includes a fishing line guide 23, a traverse cam shaft 24, a guide sensor 65, a movement command output unit 60c, and a predetermined position moving unit 60d. The fishing line guide 23 is disposed in front of the spool 10 and guides the fishing line. The traverse cam shaft 24 reciprocates the fishing line guide in the left-right direction. The guide sensor 65 detects that the fishing line guide 23 is in a predetermined position. The movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command for moving the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position. When the movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command, the predetermined position moving unit 60d rotates the traverse cam shaft 24 and moves the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position.

  In the level wind mechanism 22, when a movement command is output in association with rotation of the spool 10 in the line drawing direction, the fishing line guide 23 moves to a predetermined position in the second direction Y. Here, the movement command is output, for example, at any one of the timings before and after the timing when the spool rotates in the feeding direction, so that the fishing line guide 23 is moved to a predetermined position in relation to the rotation in the ten-line feeding direction. Can be moved to. Moreover, even if the fishing line guide 23 stops at any position in the left-right direction before the movement, it can be arranged at a predetermined position. For example, by setting the predetermined position in the vicinity of the center position of the horizontal movement range of the fishing line guide 23, the degree of bending of the fishing line can be minimized. For this reason, in the level wind mechanism 22 that reciprocates during yarn winding, the resistance during yarn unwinding can be reduced.

  (B) In the level wind mechanism 22, the predetermined position is a position corresponding to the substantially center position in the left-right direction of the spool 10. In this case, since the predetermined position is a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the spool 10, even if the fishing line guide 23 is stopped at a position deviated from the predetermined position, if the movement command is output, The degree of bending can be minimized.

  (C) In the level wind mechanism 22, the electric reel 100 includes a clutch mechanism 16, a clutch operation member 11, and a clutch sensor 64. The clutch mechanism 16 can take a connected state in which the handle 2 for rotating the spool 10 and the spool 10 are connected and a connected released state in which the connection is released. The clutch operating member 11 is provided in the reel body 1 so as to be movable between a coupling position where the clutch mechanism 16 is coupled and a coupling release position where the clutch mechanism 16 is coupled. The clutch sensor 64 can detect whether or not the clutch mechanism 16 is in the disengaged state. The movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command when the clutch sensor 64 detects that the clutch mechanism 16 is in the disengaged state.

  In this case, when the clutch sensor 64 detects that the clutch mechanism 16 is in the disengaged state, a movement command is output and the fishing line guide 23 moves to a predetermined position. For this reason, the fishing line guide always moves to a predetermined position automatically when the fishing line is fed out. Thereby, it is possible to reliably reduce resistance during yarn feeding.

  (D) In the level wind mechanism 22, the clutch sensor 64 detects whether or not the clutch mechanism 16 is in the disengaged state based on whether or not the clutch operating member 11 is in the disengaged position. In this case, the clutch mechanism 16 is not connected by the clutch operating member 11 provided on the reel body 1 but by the clutch operating member 11 provided on the reel body 1 instead of the clutch mechanism 16 that is normally rotated between the spool shaft 14 and the pinion gear 32. Since it can be detected, the configuration of the clutch sensor 64 is simplified.

  (E) In the level wind mechanism 22, both bearing reels are electric reels 100 that rotate the spool 10 by the motor 12. The electric reel 100 has a first rotation transmission mechanism 45. The first rotation transmission mechanism 45 transmits the rotation of the motor 12 to the spool 10 via the clutch mechanism 16 without passing through the drive shaft 30 of the handle 2, and the traverse cam on the motor 12 side than the clutch mechanism 16. A rotation transmission path for transmitting to the shaft 24 is provided. When the movement command is output, the predetermined position moving unit 60d operates the reciprocating mechanism through the rotation transmission path by the rotation of the motor 12 to move the fishing line guide to a predetermined position.

  In this case, a predetermined position moving unit 60d that operates the traverse cam shaft 24 using the motor 12 that rotates the spool 10 and the rotation transmission path can be configured. For this reason, another actuator for moving to a predetermined position is not required, and the configuration of the predetermined position moving unit 60d is simplified.

  (F) In the level wind mechanism 22, the guide sensor 65 includes a sensor provided on either the fishing line guide or the reel body. A detector that is detected by a sensor is provided on the other of the fishing line guide and the reel body. In this case, since the sensor and the detector are provided between the moving fishing line guide and the fixed reel body, the position of the fishing line guide can be detected with high accuracy.

  (G) In the level wind mechanism 22, the detector is a magnet 28 provided on the fishing line guide. The sensor is a magnetic force sensor that is provided at a predetermined position on the counter case 4 of the reel body 1 and can detect the magnet 28. In this case, the magnet 28 provided on the moving fishing line guide 23 is detected by the magnetic sensor provided on the fixed counter case 4, so that the wiring and configuration of the sensor are simplified.

  (H) In the level wind mechanism 22, the movement command output unit 60c outputs a movement command at a predetermined timing when the spool 10 rotates in the yarn feeding direction. In this case, it is possible to output a movement command using a water depth detection spool sensor which is usually provided on a double-bearing reel having a counter case 4 for displaying water depth.

<Other embodiments>
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.

  (A) In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking an electric reel as an example of a dual-bearing reel, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to a manually wound double-bearing reel having no motor. In this case, since the fishing line guide 23 cannot be moved by the motor, an actuator such as a motor is required as the predetermined position moving unit.

  (B) In the above-described embodiment, a movement command is output from the clutch sensor 64 by a signal to move the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if it is determined by the signal from the spool sensor 63 that the spool 10 has rotated in the line feeding direction, a movement command may be output to move the fishing line guide 23 to a predetermined position. In this case, the fishing line guide 23 can be moved to a predetermined position even when the drag is operated and the spool 10 rotates in the line feeding direction. However, since the fishing line guide 23 moves to a predetermined position after the spool 10 starts to rotate in the line feeding direction, the fishing line guide 23 is not arranged at the predetermined position at the beginning of fishing line feeding.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking the electric reel in which the motor 12 is disposed in front of the spool 10 as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can also be applied to an electric reel in which a motor is arranged in a spool and an electric reel in which a motor is arranged outside the reel body.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the fishing line guide 23 is provided with the magnet 28 and the counter case 4 constituting the reel body 1 is provided with the guide sensor 65. Conversely, the fishing line guide is provided with a guide sensor, and the reel body. You may provide a magnet in. However, it is preferable to provide a sensor having wiring on the fixed side. Note that the detector may not be provided depending on the type of sensor. For example, if a sensor capable of detecting metal or the like is used, a detector is not required by making at least a part of the fishing line guide metal.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the driven gear 50 provided on the traverse cam shaft 24 meshes with the first gear member 52, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the driven gear 50 provided on the traverse cam shaft 24 may be engaged with the drive gear 31. In this case, the traverse cam shaft 24 rotates during drag operation, and the fishing line guide 23 moves. Further, when the guide sensor 65 does not detect the fishing line guide 23 while detecting the line-feeding rotation of the spool 10 a predetermined number of times, it is determined that the clutch mechanism 16 is in the clutch-off state, and a movement command is output.
